""No single ingredient in isolation, no matter how healthy, will cure disease, heal an organ, cleanse a liver, or make you young again," Pasquariello says. "Liver health comes from a variety of lifestyle and diet choices." Dose also uses what's known as a proprietary blend, which means consumers have no idea how much of anything is actually inside. To an RD, that's a red flag."
""The ultimate pitfall is that people will use supplements like this to overcompensate for a poor diet, lack of exercise, or habits that damage their health," she says. And because the brand points to its "clinical studies" in its marketing, suggesting shifts in liver enzymes like AST and ALT, she worries that some users could be lulled into a false sense of progress."
There is no strong evidence that botanicals can "optimize" or "cleanse" the liver in otherwise healthy people. No single ingredient will cure disease, heal an organ, cleanse a liver, or reverse aging; liver health requires a variety of lifestyle and dietary choices. Proprietary blends hide actual ingredient amounts, creating risks of dangerous overdosing or ineffective underdosing. Concentrated versions of ingredients are not always superior; culinary use is a safer starting point. Supplements can be used to compensate for poor habits and may create a false sense of progress, delaying necessary medical diagnosis or treatment.
